The Jacksonville Jaguars are a team that has a lot of positive momentum following the first season under head coach Liam Coen. After a quiet NFL Free Agency, the Jaguars have a ton of 2026 NFL Draft capital to help build up their talent pool. The team will need to plug several holes for this organization to hopefully take the next step.

In my latest 7-round 2026 NFL mock draft, the Jaguars upgraded their defense in a big way. The mock also gifted quarterback Trevor Lawrence some more offensive weapons. Despite not having a first round selection, the Jaguars still managed to put together an impressive haul.

Round 2, Pick 56: Caleb Banks, DT, Florida 

With the recent issues with his foot, there is a strong chance that Banks will fall when the draft begins. If he is able to stay healthy, Banks has some unreal upside at 6-6 and 330 pounds. He is a rare mover with playmaking upside from the interior.

Round 3, Pick 81: Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington 

Coleman has suddenly become a very underrated running back in the 2026 class. While he isn’t anywhere near an elite athlete at the position, Coleman’s combination of contact balance, power, and explosiveness will offer him a chance to carry a volume in a committee approach.

Round 3, Pick 88: Kyle Louis, LB, Pitt 

There will be some who knock Louis due to his underwhelming size, but you can’t teach his feel for space and explosiveness. With Devin Lloyd leaving this offseason, the Jaguars need a playmaker in the middle of their defense.

Round 3, Pick 100: Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma 

Burks has been incredibly underutilized over the years with Oklahoma and Purdue. From a pure talent perspective, he has all the tools to be an explosive passing game weapon with YAC upside.

Round 4, Pick 124: Austin Barber, OT, Florida 

Barber has the ideal build of an NFL offensive tackle, with a ton of experience under his belt. Even if he never develops into a starter with his average athletic traits, the former Florida standout should, at least, become a good swing tackle option.

Round 5, Pick 164: Marlin Klein, TE, Michigan 

Originally coming from Germany, Klein is still a relatively raw football player. You could argue that his best football is still in front of him, and the Jaguars are going to bank on it. This could eventually become a massive steal.

Round 5, Pick 166: Trey Zuhn, OC, Texas A&M

Zuhn spent most of his time at left tackle for Texas A&M, but had some snaps at center this week, as well. His skill set probably fits better inside, possessing some legitimate developmental upside to eventually become a starter, while also presenting needed versatility to stick.

Round 6, Pick 203: Cole Wisniewski, S, Texas Tech 

At over 6-3 and 215 pounds, Wisniewski is a unique blend of size, movement skills, and versatility. Whether you need him to play in space, on the second level, or on special teams, the former North Dakota State transfer has a skill set to fill a variety of roles.  

Round 7, Pick 233: Tyler Onyedim, DT, Texas A&M 

After playing the majority of his career with Iowa State, Onyedim ended up with the Aggies this past season. He doesn’t have a standout trait, but does everything at a solid level, which could allow him to stick. 

Round 7, Pick 240: Nyjalik Kelly, EDGE, UCF 

Kelly began his career at Miami before ending up with the UCF program. Boasting some outstanding length and notable explosiveness, there are some tools to develop with Kelly, but he will need to be a lot more consistent to potentially stick. 

Round 7, Pick 245: Travis Burke, OT, Memphis 

At around 6-9 and 325 pounds, Burke is a massive offensive tackle who plays a controlled game. There are some limitations in terms of bend, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Burke carve out a role as a swing option.
